Hi all,

I'm having some difficult using the treesource property editor as a prevalue editor for one of my Umbraco plugins.

Basically I am making a number of WebApi queries to manipulate content using my plugin however when using the XPATH mode of treesource all that is returned is the query i put in. How do I then resolve this to a node using the XPATH query as passing the XPATH query via url to the restful service could cause all sorts of problems.

So for example, currently in angular I am doing the following:

$scope.initialiseTags = function () {
        $http.get("/umbraco/backoffice/tagliatelle/TagEditorApi/GetTags/?currentNodeId=" + currentNodeId + "&containerId=" + $scope.model.config.parentContainer + "&documentTypeAlias=" + $scope.model.config.documentTypeAlias)
            .success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
                $scope.tags = data;
            });
    }

This is fairly straightforward as all of the variables and parameters are url safe (text or int). However, when using XPATH there are url unsafe characters such as: $, // , / etc that would be passed into the url and ultimately would not resolve on the WepAPI end of the solution.

Any pointers would be extremely helpful.

Cheers,

Jason
